Chinese contemporary artist Ma Dongmin was born in 1968, just two years after the start of the Cultural Revolution in China. The years after the sociopolitical movement heralded a period where new information and knowledge on art flowed into China from the outside world. Art styles from the West quickly influenced the way Chinese people appreciate art and it also introduced a new vernacular to the highly insulated art community.
Receiving awards both locally and internationally, to Ma, is the best return he can get from his supporters. And this becomes the drive for him to continue creating more masterpieces in the many years to come. Ma does so through his painting techniques like the misty façade that envelopes his subjects within the artworks. One could say that the misty elements help give an air of mystery to the paintings as the subjects are shrouded behind a veil. Another message that the artist wishes to convey through the fogginess is the transient nature of events as time passes, where the subjects in the painting slowly fade into the background.
Ma’s paintings of horses caught the attention of German car manufacturer Audi, which the latter said the artist’s “Blue Horse” series evoked a “’ Fast and Furious’ feel”. He was invited by the brand to create an artwork for the launch of the new A7 and after that Ma was chosen to be Audi’s spokesperson in China.
